Stephen Curry video. Do you want him on your team with say....a top 10 pick?

He could be Chris Jackson....he could be Eddie House. He could be Mike Bibby....he could be...Daniel Gibson. Or Jason Terry. **** maybe Steve Kerr.I wouldnt be totally shocked if hes the next Gilbert Arenas and I wouldnt be shocked if he plays 26 minutes his entire rookie season and ends up in the NBDL before working his way back to the league and signing on a contender and building a career as a solid 6th man.

He doesnt have the build of a lot of those 6'2'' or so combo guards with jumpers. Ben Gordon, Bobby Jackson, and Mo Williams all have some muscle on them. ben and Bobby were borderline tanks.

But Curry? He looks like a 13 yearold. And not like a 13 yearold in good shape. Like an average 8th grader. But got damn he can shoot...and Bobby Knight called him as good a passer as has ever played in college. Which is a stretch....but Knight doesnt seem the type to hand out praise he doesnt mean.

Where would you draft him?

Late lottery.... poor man's Ben Gordon

I would not select him in the the lottery. I just don't value his play that much. Bob Knight has been gotten infected with the hyperbole virus since he has been at ESPN. One of my biggest critiques with Stephon's game is that his passes are neither precise or crisp. He is good coming of screens and does not always have to dribble into his shot to find a rhythm, which makes me think that he can be effective with or without a dominant big man, and he can play next to a drive and kick point guard for stretches. I have doubts about his ability to fight through screens on defense on the pro level. His body is rather slight, and has shown little improvement over the years.

And please no Chris Jackson comparisons that would be considered blasphemy in SEC country.

I think he's going to be sick in the league

Keith Brumbaugh will be better than Stephen Curry.

Look I just made fun of myself before you quote me with the same lame joke.

next BJ Armstrong...[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMUVdIIO0Yw[/url]

No chance he is a lottery pick!! He's an in-betweener with limited handles, limited strength, limited defense. Sharp shooters are not takin' early in drafts. I like Curry, but right now he's a late first rounder or worst. Unless Isiah Thomas takes over as GM of the Clips. Then he might be the #1 pick :roll:

The dude must be pretty strong. I've seen him pull up from the Bobcats logo and drain it on a regular ole jumpshot. He needs to beef up though and he could be similar to Mo Williams.

BJ never attempted nearly as many 3's as Curry has.

He may end up becoming a cross between Eddie House & John Starks at best.

BTW, this vid sucks because there wasn't enough shots of Sonya.

Nah just kidding bro. Great work once again!

I'd love to have him as a sixth man.

Mo Williams is much quicker and more of a pure PG than Curry.

Curry is more of a bench player you bring in at the 2 and leave out on the perimeter and kick it out to him if hes left open.

He's going to need more space considering he has a set shot without a high release point for a 6'1 Guard.

Mo isn't a pure point guard. He's a scoring guard.

Same response from you, every thread, every day.

[quote=Mr_Basketball#1]Mo isn't a pure point guard. He's a scoring guard.[/quote]Mo has excelled at being both a "pure" and a scoring PG. He has also been an excellent player in multiple offensive philosophies.

Well, he's still young has a great jumpshot and is learning the point guard position. He'd be best suited for a team where he doesn't have to handle all the ball handling responsibilities and really got to play off-ball. Playing with LeBron, Wade, or the triangle offense would help his shine is best of character traits.

But at the next level, he'll benefit most that defenses aren't built around stopping him and he'll see more 1 on 1 coverage and get plenty of good screens rather than the filmsy ones he's getting at Davidson.

I never considered Mo a pure point guard.

Mo is more of a [B]pure point guard[/B] than Curry is which speaks volumes of how mediocre of a NBA level PG Curry is.

Cury is an example of having your most trusted perimeter scorer run the Point because there isn't anyone else talented enough to play PG and it keeps the ball in his hands and allows him to find an open man.

Mad props on making this video Kblaze. Im a huge Curry fan and its a fine vid.

His game is so similar to Daniel Gibson. A combo guard who can shoot. He's definitely not worth a top 10 pick but he's a decent player overall.

Its not hard to learn the PG position when you are a good perimeter scorer and a solid ballhandler as long as you can dribble and have solid court vision you can be effective at PG in college.

I seriously doubt any NBA team would run screens for Curry on the perimeter.

If he cant catch & shoot then he won't make it in the NBA at his size.

Daniel Gibson is more athletic and has a pure shooter's release.

[QUOTE=wang4three]You're not serious are you?[/quote]
Actually I am.
If you are a wing scorer that is capable of creating your shot and you are able to handle the ball well and can find the open man, you can be effective at PG in college.
Ask James Harden,a NBA 2 that would take over the role of PG for ASU.

Of course with not being a Pure PG comes a high turnover rate but you can't say that you cant be effective.

I am serious.

Stephen Curry although is a great college scorer but he wont have plays designed for him on the perimter that involves screens to get open.
If he proves he can work as a spot up shooter in the NBA then he may have a screen designated for him at the end of a game but to think he will come into the NBA and get screens from Day 1 on the perimeter like Allen Iverson was given to get his shot off is laughable.

Curry holds no purpose on a NBA team if he can't catch & shoot,he will have to play the 2 in the NBA because he isn't a PG and unless he finds a niche as a defender then he wont last long.

He's playing the combo in the NBA


I really can't take you serious

Early second round.

[QUOTE=HaNdLe ThE RoCk]He's playing the combo in the NBA

He's not playing the combo in the NBA.

I don't see how he plays PG unless he goes to a team like the Heat with a SG like D-Wade that runs the offense and can allow him to be a spot up shooter while at the 1.

There are only 4 Combo Guards that might get drafted in the 2009 NBA Draft and they are Brandon Jennings,Willie Warren,Tony Douglas and Tyreke Evans.

Stop baiting.

Probably a Late First Round Pick. Curry is going to excel while playing in a Run and Gun Offense.

Love to see him with the Knicks or Warriors next year.

[QUOTE=OneMoreSucka]I'd love to have him as a sixth man.[/QUOTE]


Do you think he will be the next Ricky Pierce? He was a great 6th man Scorer in the late 1980's.

Ricky Pierce played nothing like Curry. And I mean in no way...at all.

Ricky Pierce?

You had to have pulled that one out of your ass to even mention his name on this site.

I don't even remember Ricky Pierce.:confusedshrug:

Best case: Mike Bibby
Worst case: Daniel Gibson
Most likely: Dana Barros


Would not want him with a top 10 pick. Doesn't play the pick and roll well enough to be worth it for the Knicks.

I hope he goes somewhere with a good coach.. dont wanna see him under Larry Brown or George Karl .. let him go somewhere with freedom and then we can make our evaluations.

The Warriors have enough guards.

Well you're wrong. Going from being the off guard to point guard in college is a difficult transition. Many players have tough time transitioning to it after being the primary off guard scorer. They have to deal with presses more and have to start offense rather than be offense. Hell, Scottie Reynolds is still struggling from losing Mike Nardi. Davidson lost the leading assist-man in college last season and Curry has to play the role of primary scorer and primary playmaker. There's going to be problems and things he has to go through. He's clearly learning though and he's gotten better as the season went on.

James Harden's role hasn't changed at ASU so I have no idea what you're even bringing him up.

Curry will likely go in the top 15 in the draft. Yet you believe a team will draft him and not run plays for him. Why commit to a player you don't want to highlight his strengths? Seems like a waste of money.

[quote]Curry holds no purpose on a NBA team if he can't catch & shoot,he will have to play the 2 in the NBA because he isn't a PG and unless he finds a niche as a defender then he wont last long.[/QUOTE]

I said earlier, he'll be fine as long as he has someone to share ball handling responsibilities with. He doesn't have to be pigeon holed into a position of 1 or 2. He can fit as a tweener like a lot of guards are doing these days to mask their weaknesses.

Curry is not a horrible ball handler, but he's not great. He's still learning to control pace and play with a team. The way you make it seems like he has no capacity to learn or get better, which is dumb for anyone to assume at 20/21 and playing the point guard for the first time in his life.
